LOVED this man ... So many good memories of watching Daniel Boone. He was a Man (and so handsome)and a BIG Man (And sooo Handsome)! What a dream come-a-truer was he!! Fly with Jesus. There was
where we saw GOOD MORALS on the screen!!

All I can say is the World is a sadder place without Davey Crockett. My kids love his movies. RIP Mr. Parker. You job is done here on Earth and we will deffinatley see you in Heaven. DAVEY, DAVEY CROCKETT KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER!

Although my dad was the original one who grew up hummin' this catchy song of promise, I also am proud to admit to lovin' this legend too. Fess, as both Davy Crocket and Daniel Boone, always inspired me, a proud "daddy's lil' girl, to go off explorin' the great outdoors and I still love to. Thank you Fess for making me a Queen..."of the wild frontier" (not some powder puff chick!). You made a legend real and it always will live on no matter what generation. God bless you and your family Fess. Thank you.
